Two classes and a staff room set alight, damaging 15 school computers

Fifteen school computers were burnt during the service delivery protest in Bona-Bona village in Morokweng  on Thursday, North West police said.

Brigadier Thulani Ngubane said two classes and a staff room at Tlotlang Thuto Middle School were set alight on Wednesday by protesters demanding tarred roads, electricity and water in their area.

“Community members broke the burglar door of the school kitchen, took out two gas cylinders and placed them in each class,” he said.

“They opened them and set the classrooms alight. The staff room caught fire from the [fires in the] two classes and 15 computers which were in the rooms were badly burnt.” 

When police were called they all fled, Ngubane said.

Ngubane said no arrests had been made but a case of arson, public violence and malicious damage to property had been opened.

Educated Blacks need to deal with their uneducated barbaric savage people because its obvious they will not listen to any other race.At the end of the day the only people being affected by this type of animal behaviour is the young kid who wants to go to scool,get any education and be a productive citizen...The ANC is a DISGRACE!!!!

What is the reason of burning the school? Who must fix that school? Will that money to refurbush school contribute to buy more computers? Sometimes poor education is the murder of success...
